BKO: Bangkok Knockout has some of the greatest choreographed fighting I’ve ever seen in a film and guess what, it’s finally coming to Blu Ray and DVD! I reviewed this film at the NYAFF and loved every second of the action, whether the actual movie itself was good is another question entirely but not a very important one. Either way, one bad ass mf Thai movie is expected to hit store shelves on august 30th thanks to the wonderful Magnolia Home Entertainment. I’m hoping for some great behind the scenes features to be on it because of how dangerous every scene was to film (no details on the features have been announced though).
You can check out the full press release below for all the specifics like price, synopsis and more.
